A couple won't drive on the slip-prone Thames Coast Rd again after their vehicle was hit by falling rocks.
Kaaren​ and Nick Marlow were driving home to Auckland from their Matarangi holiday home on July 2, when rocks fell from a cliff at Ruamahanga Bay, State Highway 25, damaging their ute.
The incident happened a day before a large slip came down and blocked the road in the same place the couple's vehicle was hit by the rocks. The road has been regularly closed by more than 100 slips since March.
